1. Start by washing and drying your hair. This will make it easier to work with and will ensure that your hair is clean. 2. Use clippers to cut the hair on the sides and back of your head down to the desired length. Start with a longer guard and work your way down to a shorter guard to achieve a gradual fade. 3. Use a trimmer to clean up the hairline around your ears and neck. 4. Cut the hair on the top of your head to the desired length using scissors. This can be anywhere from 2-4 inches depending on your preference. 5. Use a comb to create a flat top on the hair on the top of your head. Make sure it is even and symmetrical. 6. Use clippers to fade the hair from the sides up to the flat top. Use a shorter guard as you get closer to the top to create a gradual fade. 7. Use a trimmer to clean up any stray hairs around the edges of the flat top. 8. Apply hair gel or pomade to the hair on the top of your head to keep it in place. 9. Use a mirror to check the back and sides of your head to ensure that the fade is even.Tips for a Perfect High Top Fade
